HTC P4300 Business Edition ROM CE OS 5.2.1622 Build 18128 AKU 4.4 (updated 6/12/09)

[jwzg]

This is a 18128.0.4.4 ROM build based on PeterPetrelli's Wizard port of the AT&T 8525 WM6 ROM. It is a mix of old and new components, so if you don't like old stuff, you may not want to flash it. It is not built using the Hypercore kitchen (Tadzio's tools) so the ULDR space is still there. The today theme is the wasabi green HTC_default.tsk from the HTC 4350 official ROM along with the same green dialer and comm manager. When you change from or to the HTC theme, you must manually soft reset to change the dialer skin even though you click the "ok" on the dialog box. It's smooth, fast and very stable. The ROM is easily extracted, but I put it together as a factory ROM, so all of the programs are in the OEMAPPS package instead of separate. When you extract it for kitchen use, no OEM-side folders are in the SYS side.

Wow! Stable and fast is what I am looking for...and a mod releasing it, it should be SUPER!

Downloading it right now. Btw, any screenshots?

[jwzg]

Mods ain't gods. I will do my best to sassify...

I'm going to moderate this thread pretty heavily. If your post was deleted, it was because it did not contain a question or feedback. Please download, try, then post. Thanks!

I originally included Sprite Backup HTC edition as well as Network Wizard, but one can be construed as warez even though it's found in the factory Tilt ROM and the other acts funny when installed as a package.

aku4.4?????????????????????????
what's this?????????????????????
don't know!

[epimazzo]

Hey jwzg!

Always been around with new surprises, don't ya?:p
I've just installed this build and up to now, no complains. Really smooth, stable and fast as mentioned!
I also already dumped to start cooking over it. Let you know how was it after flashing...but it seems ok. I got OEM, XIP, SYS all together.

Thanks for sharing...;)

[jwzg]

AKU 4.4 is the adaptation kit upgrade used for the Kaiser and Hermes WM6 ROM's. It's not meant for the Wiz, but it is the most stable, ported base ROM there is.

epiamazzo, I'm glad you're giving this a whirl. I've had this ROM in .308 build sitting on my old laptop for almost a year. It was on my old Qtek 9100 when I lost it leaving China. I just brought over all of the OEM files and tweaked the .dsm files so everything would be in the right place if someone decided to cook it. The only thing missing is the Lockstream DRM files, and I don't think anyone knows how to make those work outside of their original ROM.

UPDATE: I'm going to put the Network Wizard back in, since I finally got it to work. I'll upload it in a day or two, but everything else should stay the same.

[dferreira]

Is this WM5? I do realise that its posted on WM6 section... but I thought that AKU 3.3 was the latest WM5... so I'm wondering...

[jwzg]

It's WM6 for sure. I just updated my signature.

[bill_in_mtl]

I downloaded and flashed last night

No issues to report, the items I use, wi-fi,sms, phone, you know - the basics, are working very well. Bluetooth works also

Quick and reliable - thank you

Installed pocketcm, thumbcal,srs wow,tcpmp - everything works

[ndn715]

UPDATE: I'm going to put the Network Wizard back in, since I finally got it to work. I'll upload it in a day or two, but everything else should stay the same.

jwzg, if you're going to upload a new version, the only thing i noticed was that devauth and sqm could probably be removed. i made my own already, but for others :)

very nice base! glad to see not everything now is 6.1 :D btw, i don't understand how its 18128 if the rom reports 1622... i imagine that its because of the merging...

[jwzg]

The ROM upgrade for the Hermes has that OS and build number. I just flashed one last week. The XIP was ported by PP and the drivers are taken directly from the .308 build. There wasn't much else done. Either way, it's still one of the best ROM's I've run for quickness and stability. Kind of a businessman's ROM.

When they finish video my thoughts today we see aku 3.5.2. If only missing default oem folder luckily defy the others with more, but never won truly port. Uses no point half official half hermes also damage.

Friendly yesterday tell say maybe aku 0.4.4 but stupid care difference not us.

Perhaps you're as think as you drunk we are.

That's a hell of a first post folks!

[ajc2003]

good,thx:):)

[jwzg]

I'm pulling the VoIP packages from the ROM for now. It seems that everything connects, but I can't seem to get audio from the speaker. I don't know what's causing it, but this is not an issue with .308 build. Network Wizard is back in and working. Other than that, no changes.

[souljah777]

I downloaded the file but when I try to extract the file I'm asked for a password. I'm using 7-Zip to extract. Any ideas?

Thanks bwesty; I'll get my coat :-(

Maybe you should read the first post.....

This is easily the most stable rom since the Ingenetics / 318 build. I'm so impressed by how stable and responsive this rom is. I have yet to find a single bug in this rom. This is definitely a keeper in terms of wizard roms.

Keep up the good work jwzg.

[peter petrelli]

I can't believe people are wasting their time with 6.1 builds when we have solid official base roms such as this. Likewise I can't believe that more people havent tried this rom. That's terribly disappointing. One unmentionable 6.1 thread on this forum has near enough to 800 posts on it, almost all of them issues with the rom. People would rather have a bug infested 'latest' build than something as solid as this. I will never understand that. I just shake my head.

jwzg, you have done an awesome job with this rom. It has to be the most stable wizard rom that I have seen. It's simplicity with no bugs for the businessman that adore stability.

Either way, it's still one of the best ROM's I've run for quickness and stability. Kind of a businessman's ROM.

Couldn't agree with you more. You've done such a great job with this rom. Worthy of a signature change.

[jwzg]

PP I'm awfully flattered. I still have a few bugs to get out including a non-working BT activation of VSD (I think). I'd like to see a bit more beta testing on some of these 6.1 ROMS, but we'll never know the limits unless they are pushed.

[RedCastle]

I was wondering few things before I flash this rom.

1. Does it have micro office?
2. is there a way to get the sms/mms to thread like in the 6.1 rom?

How are the reports on blue tooth? any dropped or missed connections? Right now i'm trying a 6.1 rom and it drops my headset and i have to restart blue tooth and head set...

[character]

please give more information like memory because what i have seen so far is the page tool I think it will be appreciated by other members here

though havent tried this yet I am believer of the rom...:):)

[ip-rob]

I scrapped the 6.1 ROM due to problems. I really like this ROM...stable, fast. The only thing I was trying to find out is network configuration. Trying to configure for AT&T.

[rsrocha]

Great ROM!

Now i need to work out some issues:

- How to include windows live
- How to remove htc branding stuff

Anyone can give me a hand?

- Managed to get the setup screen at first boot

[ip-rob]

You can get all those downloads using the addons threads. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366878 is the Windows Live I installed.

[fraham]

please more screenshots. (examply the dialer, calculator, commanager...)

I search for a stably, quickly und lightly OS version in WWE or DE.
This looks to be good and light.

Thanks and Greetings Frank

[souljah777]

This is a great ROM. Many of the others (especially the 6.1 ROMS) are cluttered with loads of stuff that I'd never use and that slow the system down. This one is clean and simple and works really well. It means that I've been able to add just what I want rather than having stuff I can't get rid of.

Thanks very much!!

[ROGERLZ]

perfect rom.

[character]

please give more information
does this have important apps like wm5storage, touch commander? please give more info how many memory are left after installing

[fraham]

Is this ROM G4-save?

[jwzg]

please give more information

Do you see these apps listed on the front page? If not, then the answer is no.

Is this ROM G4-save?

I somehow think we have some non-readers here.

[fraham]

I somehow think we have some non-readers here.

Forgiveness, i had read this thread. But my english translation by Google-Translator is very bad.

I think to understand, that this is only a OS, without unneeded Applications.
I has not read informations, that it will change IPL/SPL.

So i think, it's be G4-Safety. But before i get a bad surprise, i will ask about the G4-safety. (over-cautiously flash-beginner) ;)

In last time i has some ROM's tested, where i definitive read: G4-Safety. But there are some thinks, thats me not like: to many unneeded applicationes or some bugs there needs to fix.

how i has say: i search a very stable and speedy ROM, that is free from not needed aplicationes.
And i think, this ROM could be, what i search.

Greetings Frank

[arp]

Any screenshots, memory free, phone layout/skin, etc..?

Thanks

[jwzg]

I'll have to load up my other wizard to get screen shots. It's really nothing more than what a factory HTC ROM should look like, so those looking for whiz-bang and bling won't find it here.

That's alright. The first post says it's G4-safe.

[leshan]

Activesync will resume again and again, makes battery drain faster.

[fraham]

That's alright. The first post says it's G4-safe.

OK, i has searched for a direktly writen information "G4-Save". But the information is to find between the lines... :o

Thank you for the confirmation. Now i'm reassured... :rolleyes:

So i will flash this ROM in the next time and adjust it on my needs for use (keyboard layout, settings and applications).

@leshan:

i have observed this also by other OS versions of 6 and 6.1. I think it is an Registry-entry, that is set this funktion.

I would like to test to change this Registry entry:
[HKLM\System\ActiveSync\Engines\{176F4FFD-F20C-4bd4-BDD7-01D0726C567B}\Settings]
SyncAfterTimeWhenCradled = 5 (Hexadecimal)

in this setting the intervall is around 2 or 2,5 minutes. if i has set "300", i mean, the period was arround 45 minutes.

So i think, the "5" can be setting to "1200" for enough time to completly load the Wizard on the USB-cable, before the next sync begins.

But i has this Value not tested!!

But i als know, there must be a other Entry in the registry to switch off the permanently polling intervall. But i don't know the Name of this entry and on whith position it is be to find. :(

Greeting Frank

[jwzg]

I've not had any issues w/ActiveSync draining the battery. AAMOF, my battery life is as good with this ROM as the official AKU 3.3.

[leshan]

Thank you for your reply, But If the ActiveSync keep resuming, I think it will drain more battery. I tried to use the old method, create a fake connection and delete it, still doesn't work, the ActiveSynv keep resuming.

[jwzg]

Leshan, you may need to clean out your notification queue or just hard reset. I don't have this problem at all and it hasn't been reported by any other users (yet, at least).

[ROGERLZ]

jwzg, i find that same files in your rom are deferent from it in other 6.0 rom ,so if i can replace it with file from other rom or edit it ?

BTW, thanks for your rom :)

I'm having the same problem. Activesync keeps firing up, also other apps I've noticed aren't closing out. I have to use the X button to end them for sure. Other than that it's very fast and smooth! Thanks.

[fraham]

jwzg, i have found a problem with the STK-Service. There are not installed stk.exe and STKTray.exe. Also i missing the registry entries [HKCU\ControlPanel\HTCSTK], [HKLM\Services\Stk_Service], and some needed values and keys under [...\STK], [...\Stk_service] and [HKLM\Software\OEM\STK].

This needed entries (Keys and Values) i must manually added for getting the STK-services.

Was the problem by flashing without the SIM card?

Are you saying this problem is fixed. The SIM applications are there as well as the registry settings.

[fraham]

Are you saying this problem is fixed. The SIM applications are there as well as the registry settings.

the both EXE was also missing in the Windows folder, so i must copy this from a backup.
But the *.exe install is a different from the registry. That's the problem.

[jwzg]

Do you have the option to view all files checked in Windows Explorer?

[fraham]

Do you have the option to view all files checked in Windows Explorer?

To the beginn i had not checked the presence of this both exe files. I had update the missing registry entries.
After some waiting time i make a softreset. Then i checked if all updated registry entrys are completly present. But STK services not works...

Than i checked the presence of needed files: There are only present STK_UIPPC.exe and STK_service.dll.
The other missing STK files also has must showes as unhidden files, if they are present (so as in all the other tested OS; and they are installed whit insert SIM cart).

So i not have checked the Option "show all files" in FE.

If i copying some files into a folder whith name-identical files and regardless of whether they are be unhidden or hidden, it must get a warning: "overwrite?".
Because by the copy this warning don't got to me, i can say, that the files was not present.

After copying the both exe files the STK services are working.

I also have a cab file from T-Mobile, that install the STK services. But i'm not sure, if it's also needed some manually updates in the registry.

---

I has also got the problem with automatic power on and sync, if the Wizard is connected on USB. A wakeup by connecting is right. But if the wizard after the sync powerd off, he periodly wakes up after all 2...2,5 minutes.

I have find an other problem in the registry. So i have deactivatet the syncronization from e-mails in the activesync settings. But:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ActiveSync\Engines\{176F 4FFD-F20C-4bd4-BDD7-01D0726C567B}\Providers\{c6d47067-6e92-480e-b0fc-4ba82182fac7}]
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"Name"="E-mail"
"ReadOnly"=dword:00000000

It's say's, that the synconization from e-mails is not disable! (But i have the e-mail-syncronization disable in the activesync-settings and it's showes as disable)
So i have set the registry value "Enable" from 1 to 0 ("null").
A connect to USB will wake up the Wizard at first and he need first a completely ending syncronization after connecting to USB. Then can i press the power button and the Wizard sleeps in the follow time (by charging and if charged).

Working on this issue. The problem is that AT&T doesn't use STK services, so you may be on your own here.

[ph03nix]

speaking of being a n00b, what do i use to flash the device with a nbf file?

edit: nm
first time trying to flash a rom on this phone, unlocking and updating to this rom all with no problems at all
this rom is running fine with no problems at all
will post back if any are discovered
thanks for the work, i am enjoying wm6
but you left the t-mobile logo? lol

[jwzg]

No T-Mobile logo's in this ROM. Are you talking about the splash screen? If so, I didn't change it.

[Ray_jai]

does this come with office mobile?
and is a2dp and gps enabled? I hate tweaking those settings.
thanks.

Of course.

You might want to wait as I'll be updating a minor revision in a couple of hours.

[jwzg]

Update posted on front page.

[dferreira]

I'm using this ROM and its working alright. Wifi and everything. One thing tho... it is a bit slow, comparing to WM6.1 performance. But since WM6.1 is buggy, I rather stick with this one ATM.

Nice work jwzg!

[Ray_jai]

What do u mean by slow? but if it is very stable i would use it.
Common problems i have with every frimware:
*phone hangs when i'm doing something, and then a call comes in.
*typing too fast on the keypad or keyboard will case the phone to soft reset, like typing an email reply.
*the phone hangs when an alarm starts and I never get to hear my alarm.

also, what can i use to recook this? I just want to add the theif protection program.

Thanks

[skr_xd]

Its the best ROM i ever tried on my wizard.

Rated *****

Using it for a couple of days.
Didn't have any issues yet.

Have a small problem though.
I really don't like the HTC branded green dialer.
When i tried to install the black skin touch dialer, it is not showing properly.
The green backround is not changing.
Anybody tried using black touch dialer with this ROM successfully?

[jwzg]

*phone hangs when i'm doing something, and then a call comes in.
Not abnormal. This is not the fastest phone made by HTC

*typing too fast on the keypad or keyboard will case the phone to soft reset, like typing an email reply.
That's a problem w/your hardware. My test Wizard does the same thing.

*the phone hangs when an alarm starts and I never get to hear my alarm.
Another result of a slow processor.

also, what can i use to recook this? I just want to add the theif protection program.
Doubleofour's kitchen.

I have none of these problems and I have used pretty much every ROM that has been cooked since WM5. While I'm not running this ROM at the moment I'm giving it serious thought. I just don't feel like changing at the moment. As far as the theft program goes why do you need to recook to add it just find the cab and install.

I need to recook it so i can put it in the extended rom, so if people hard reset, the program is till there. The person i bought the program from said he would teach it to me, but never got back to me.

What!? so all these problems have been the phone's fault!!! not the frimwares! but i overclocked the phone. shouldn't that atleast prevent the alarm hanging the phone?

thanks guys

Kirby, I'd encourage you to give it a shot. I do think this is probably one of the most complete ROM's out there that doesn't call attention to the cook. I'm thinking about cooking a version with Voice Command, but we'll have to see if it will hold it without using tadzio's toolchain.

I'm pretty sure about the keyboard issue. The others problems may depend on what's running in the background, since you seem to have a speed issue.

If you cooked one with V/C I would use it or even better a ROM with neither V/C or Cyberon. I have V/C in a cab and just use that.

hi jwzg,
i've upgraded my wizard to your second rom (from 21/3) and i have a few small issues:
- the wifi is still not starting from the first time(have to hit the button twice) and is not connecting to my network automatically. is this a wm6 problem?

- i'm using gsicq(icq for wm), starting it without a network conection will force it to close automatically making the task bar icon to disappear, but will take up the space of one icon each time i try to run gsicq(can see that any other icons will move left after each cycle). to clear the task bar i have to restart the phone. i didn't have this problem running gsicq on any other wm5 or wm6 roms.

do you know how can i make the power tray icon to start automatically after i restart the phone?

however, i didn't have any other issues with your previous rom running it almost a week.

[jwzg]

I know what the wifi bug is. I'll have it fixed and uploaded in a day or two.

[Dr Puttingham]

If you cooked one with V/C I would use it or even better a ROM with neither V/C or Cyberon. I have V/C in a cab and just use that.

KirbyI agree with Kirby. SO much easier when the Voice is left to the discrission of the user...

But this IS one interesting looking ROM (and I've seen a couple of good ones, here and there, ehehehe! ) ;)

Kirby, I'd encourage you to give it a shot. I do think this is probably one of the most complete ROM's out there that doesn't call attention to the cook. I'm thinking about cooking a version with Voice Command, but we'll have to see if it will hold it without using tadzio's toolchain.

Definitely love to give this a try if a version with VC is released. My custom 318 has been unstable lately for some odd reason.

For those that have used this ROM and the latest WM6.1 builds, how does the speed compare?

[Helio-Junior]

I know what the wifi bug is. I'll have it fixed and uploaded in a day or two.

Hi JWZG,
This ROM is the more stable than i put in my Wizard.
My experience with the wifi bug related (not connecting to network automatically) happen in all ROMs. I have been accustomed.
The only rom that does not present this problem is XDA RC5.1
Maybe this helps to fix the problem more quickly.
If you can make it connect automatically in wifi network, this ROM become perfect for me.

Congratulations for you very nice job with this ROM.
PS. Sorry for my bad inglish!

Regards

[jwzg]

I cannot make a VC version due to the fact that the factory AKU 4.4 ROM didn't come with VC. I can take out CVD altogether and release a ROM. That seems to be what a lot of people want. I didn't think about releasing multiple versions as this ROM is a "flash and forget" type that makes it easy on newbs and those that need a stable OS for business use. I'm having some issues getting VoIP to work properly. This package works perfectly on the 15342 build of the same ROM, but shows "searching..." on this version even though it is connected and works. I think this has to do with the dialplan.xml file, but I don't know or have the time to find out what I need to do to make it work. Can anyone help here?

[rkwhyte2]

I agree with Kirby. SO much easier when the Voice is left to the discrission of the user...

But this IS one interesting looking ROM (and I've seen a couple of good ones, here and there, ehehehe! ) ;)

What's up brother?

I agree this ROM looks real nice and if jwzg cooks this up with no voice I'm all over it.

Later,
Kirby

[c-pimp]

I have used the first rom you released for a bit, I really liked it.. however when i upgraded i notice it not as responsive and a noticable difference in speed.... what exactly was updated that might make this one seem slower for me?

[jwzg]

Non-VC/CVD ROM on front page. Kirby and DP, knock yourselves out!

Currently testing this out and so far so good. loading all my programs on it.

does anyone know where i can get the 10 button comm manager?
I see it in other roms, but how do i get it from them?

also does anyone know how i can change the hide keypad softkey button in dailer?
I want it to say contacts.

Thanks!

[rkwhyte2]

So far so good...I spend time last night flashing the Wizard and getting all my programs back on. The only thing I have left to do is input all the reg codes for the programs. At this point I'm real happy everything runs and I have no problems.

Thanks jwzg this is a nice build.

hello jwzg,

i first i had problems with the ActiveSync resume (poll all 2...2,5 minutes), but after clear the notification queue, i had problems with start ActiveSync (get no connects to device).
so i have use "Cleare Storage" and configure new the device applications and settings.
So i has tested my selfmade CAB for the STK-Services (STK-files from a WM6.1 OS and the needed registry-entrys). It's get the STK-Services to work.

do you have interest for the workin STK files and the registy-entrys as an CAB?

OK, i had in the first time some selfmaded problems, but your ROM is verry great!

[fraham]

i would like to flash and test your new ROM in the next days (i think on the weekend).

If you can't wait (:D): I take the CAB file to the attachment, so you can compare the files and registry entrys.
The only of my (first) selfmade CAB is: i has set the optiones to "copy files, if not exist".

For view (and extrakt) the included files and reg entrys in a CAB file, i use "WinCE CABs Analyser", for building a CAB "Pocket PC Installation Creator".
(may be, there also give's better free software)

problems I have,
when wifi is connected I can't go online.
calendar doesn't show the date or time on today screen.
when I get an email and try to read it, the message closes itself.
that's all I can think of for now.
other then the problems mentioned the rom is great! no hanging or crashes so far.

wish everything wasn't so green
and wish there was a description for what some of the preinstalled programs do.

great rom thanks!

Ray_jai, I think your device may be cursed. You should reflash and then you'll be OK.

[Ray_jai]

dammit, so my phone's been defective all this time!

Mine already does.

how do u change it? I installed a dailer skin thing.
thanks

tried a new dailer skin, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311225

Me too having same problem with installing dialer skins.

[jwzg]

Guys, guys...

This phone already has the HTC dialer skins installed, and you probably can't install over them. When you start putting "bling" on your device, you can have a whole litany of issues from disappearing today screen items and screwed up dialer buttons. I am not going to release a clean version of this ROM, so you may need to look elsewhere unless you want to cook it yourself.

A2DP is fully functional and I use it on a regular basis w/my HS820's.

In a nutshell, this is not a very customizable ROM.

[jwzg]

If you installed a dialer, you'll probably need to hard reset or reflash.

I installed the Eten dialer from PaulyA and it is working fine. Heck everything is working fine.

[Ray_jai]

Sorry, Didn't mean to go off topic.

Did any of you try phone alarm on this rom? My message notice things won't light up.
and it seems like my emails won't auto send or recieve every 30 mins.

thanks

[mengesb]

I think it should be fine, thats what i did to flash it. but i don't know about cooking.

Yeah, this worked fine for me too.

Now I just have to find that nice HTC program that got rid of the annoying confirmation message every time I send an e-mail.

So far, my use of this has been excellent... first time I've had this phone's wifi connect to my home wifi... I'm quite shocked!

[jwzg]

Rai_jai and others, I decided to prune the thread a bit to cut down on posts that do not directly deal with issues related to this ROM. You are not being censored, I'm just trying to make searching this thread easier instead of people having to read through off-topic posts. Sorry, guys.

[fraham]

Hello jwzg,

i have flash the new ROM. The STK works and can only show the text-message but no the icon.

I think, the problem is the version from the stk.exe or the stk-service.dll.
Every time, if i delete the registry entrys under HKCU\ControlPanel\HTCSTK and if i reset the Device (after more as 10 minutes work with it), the entrys was new written.

This fact i know from the other (older ?) versions of STK, that i also have tested. It must be a version conflict.

To fix the problem is not possible because the STK-Files have RAM-Status and can't be to delete or overwrite. :mad:

How to fix this Problem? There are more as 2 ways:
1. no integrate STK-Files, so that the User even can install the correct files, that he needs
2. a new OS with other/newer(?) STK files (look to my CAB)
3. The STK-files should not be written with RAM-Status, so that the User can delete or overwrite the files for get a correct function of the STK-Service "Home-Icon".
...

greetings Frank

PS: The old problem with the permanently wakeup for syncronisations (if the device is of and cradled) is back again!

[jwzg]

I'll see about the STK files from the new HTC Kasier ROM, as I have dumped it and am playing around with porting it at the moment. Is the wake up on sync behavior a device or PC issue? Can the sync schedule be set? If the device is hooked up to ActiveSync through USB, then it shouldn't be discharging and a continuous sync isn't really an issue.

[fraham]

My STK files and reg entrys in my "STK... CAB" comes from the OS 5.2.19521 Build 19521 1.1.0 and working fine to display the "Home-icon" (by me a bubble) on my device for my phone operator "Vodafone.de".

In this time i have found 6 different compositions(/mixes) of stk files with different file versiones. But only the stk files from OS 5.2.19521 Build 19521 1.1.0 displays the Home-Icon, if i manualy insert the reg entrys as in my "STK... CAB"
All other compositions shows only the text-message "zuhause" (en: "at Home").
I think, it can be the combination of the STK-files like STK.exe, STK-service.dll, STK_UIPPC.exe and (may be) the STKTray.exe.

Sync:
if the Wizard is connect to USB: The sync initiate from the Wizard permanently roundly all 2,5 minutes on:
fall 1 (charging, device is off) => The Wizard wakes up and Sync started.
fall 2 (Work with ext. Power)

- schedule is not available (not on PC, not on Wizard)
- no files are changed, delete or new
- e mail sync is deactivated in the Options
but there are permanently wakeup's and/or sync-polls on USB, where normally sleep the Wizard, if there are no datas there must be sync and the Wizard is switched off.

This behavior on USB (permanently wakeup for sync) keep of a speedly charging on USB cable. So the "backlight"-settings must set to "switch of after..., if ext power"

only in the reg i can change the sync settings, exampely poll-intervall, disable e mail sync over usb, a.s.o.

:eek:, what's that? => no more sync's in the last 45 minutes!
there i has change the internet connections from web.vodafone.de to event.vodafone.de and swith the device off.
(But: i has observate some times before: one day it's works correct, the follow day is all by the old. So i will wait, before i can say unfailing "yes, works" or "no, dosn't works".)

[jwzg]

fraham, what is your native language? German? I'm just having a little trouble understanding the translation.

[fraham]

yes my native language is german.

i know: my english is verry bad. But the translation from one german word brings many english words, so that i dosn't know with word is the correct for the perfect understanding. than my grammar and the syntax... i know: there stands up the hairs...

[Ray_jai]

what does BT explorer do?
thanks

[ph03nix]

have only had two issues with the rom so far
one hangup while writing a text message, had to hard reset
may have not even been the rom itself, i have written 10s of thousands of texts from it and have only experienced this once
and another, phone would not get signal under 20% battery
i dont know if that was just a one time issue or not, usually i never let it get under 80%

other then that, i have had no problems at all with this rom, those of which were only minor issues that were no more then a one time annoyance
http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

It enables you to explore devices that connected via Bluetooth.

[fraham]

i had flash back to your first HTC-ROM version.

On this first version my CAB can insert the missing STK-files and the CAb sets the needed reg entrys.

Your secound Version is also very great and stable. Is in the secound Version the energy consumption a little minor as in the first Version? (I think, i have observate it)

[mengesb]

It seems I've discovered a problem, and it may be a settings problem that I caused myself, but I could use some help regardless =) I'm getting this error when trying to take a picture:

Camera

Unable to capture.
Not enough memory.
36001:111:0

Previously I set the place to save pictures to the storage card, but apparenlty it changed it to the bluetooth device, which caused this error. Now I can't set it back to the storage card - and I do see it available as a saving device. Not sure what I can do about this... so some help and insight would be awesome =)

[metalizer2000]

dialpad skin with smart dial is very nice..where can i get it in cab file?

[Dr Puttingham]

Non-VC/CVD ROM on front page. Kirby and DP, knock yourselves out!Thanks brother! My wife (read:ME) is quite happy with this, nice and snappy. And she just HAS to have her little "Lady in the Phone" so taking VC out made this much easier.

Also, like Kirby, I use a PaulyA dialer. I'm probably one of the few left that use and appreciate those dialers using with Water's Smartskey.

Thanks again.

What registry settings did u use to make the "E" icon show up on the signal bar icon?

Alright guys, I may have to take a bit of a break here. I just bought a new iMac last night and I'm in pretty unfamiliar waters. I'll still be around to support this thing. I'm going to load Windows this weekend so I can still cook and such, I'll just be a little slower. Geez, I thought my vision was bad, but this 20 in. display has proved me wrong.

amazingly soooooooo stable and good, thanks a lot:)

Hi,
forgive me as i am very new to this, But i love your builds. I want to know
where you put the app in. As I am not sure how or where to do this.
Also I have a 8125 what is a good program to delete something on the phone it says you can not delete.

When you get around to it, there are some potential bugs you may wish to investigate:

1. Other programs (like Outlook, Camera, etc) can no longer save files directly to the memory card.

I've installed programs to the memory card, and they still operate. I still cannot get the camera to recognize that I have a memory card inserted, yet my today background grabbed the picture from there, and I have three apps run off the mem card. Outlook, which should be using space on the mem card for attachments (and I confirmed files exist from older attachments) shows I have zero megs available on the mem card (not true, I have 600+ MB available on a 2gb card). Its somewhat annoying, but hasn't stopped me from using this rom as of yet. I can provide screen shots upon request.

Well, you won't be able to delete anything from the device, as all files are in ROM (read only). You wouldn't gain space anyway if you could.

Of course...

Read the stickies on flashing in both this and the Wizard Upgrade sub forums and flash away. Make sure you know if you have a G3 or G4 device.

[raredog]

i want to try your rom jwzg. My 6.1 rom is full of bugs. And beside I found your test device is similar with mine. :D

Is there any other link that I can download it? Thanks and more power!

I don't have another link at the moment. I just switched to an iMac and I haven't put my kitchen or ROMs in the Windows partition yet. You can't use Rapidshare?

hi jwzg. I have successfully downloaded your rom and flashed it on my wizard.

HTC Album was not included in this ROM, so installing just the mui isn't going to work. There were no splash screens included in this ROM, so there we are.

[seafish]

Hi jwzg,

flashed your ROM 2 days ago. This is the fastest version I ever had. Very good.

Do you know how I can manage it to change the SMS to thread-look? I searched in the forum, but can't get sufficient results. Thanks in advance.

Greetings from sunny Germany.

Chris

[jwzg]

Glad you like it seafish. I've got another revision ready to go, if I can get it uploaded. Everything is now for a P4300 (HTC's own branded Wizard). Though I don't think an official P4300 ROM exists, this is the closest you can get. I may upgrade some of the OEM components if I can, but I won't be cooking until the summer. Work is KILLING me.

As for threaded SMS, there is not an application I'm aware of that permits this unless you get it as a cab from a Treo. Someone else will have to help out here.

[fraham]

jwzg,

do you know about the problematic "permanently wakeUp's and sync's" from some time ago is called?

<correctur>
The problem must be the Network Wizard:

I had deinstal the Network Wizard, checked the registry for entrys "Network Wizard" and delete this values, datas and keys.
After that, i have checked the "start => settings => connections => connections => advanced => select Network" and here the bottom field, that there is no connection defined.

Since this time are silence with WakeUp's and Sync's.

:( Sorry, but this is not correct!!! In the first time i have think it, while i have brake the wakeup for AS by connecting to USB. Now i have make a sync and the old problem is new present.

There must be a entry in the registry, that takes the effect: Switch of the device, so get's no new wakeups for Sync on USB => it's only load the battery. (the connecting to USB get a wakeup for Sync, but after switch of the device => only load battery)
but i don't know this entry.

Sorry for this false information.
<correctur end>

--


PS:
Have i right understand? You have a new ROM, that's waiting for upload?
My question: Have you take for this new ROM the STK-files from your first Version? (This STK-files works, but from the secound version the STK-files not works). If you need a working STK-file-collection with integrated Reg-Entrys, so i can give the CAB for you. I have a CAB for Vodafone and a CAB for T-Mobile and other collected CAB's. The TMob and the other collected CAB's for STK not working into the german Vodafone-Net. (provider-specifical files?)
Not works means: there are only the text windows (in some STK-versions self closed = no optic controll if being into home-area or not) and no show the home/bubble icon.
Or better: Please no insert STK-Files into the ROM. The users of the ROM can install the right files and Reg-settings, if the are provider-specifical.

(sorry for this bad english without a translator, but i hope it's understandly)

[Master.Chivatoloco]

First of all from What I read This is one of the best ROMs out there. Im a noob and I'm learning

I'm sorry if this question has been answered before, but How do you use the nk.nbf file in the rar? How do I put it in the phone? All I see is a nbf and nothing else.

plese any help would be greatly appreciated

[jwzg]

You have to have a ROM update utility. This comes with most kitchens. Put the nk.nbf file in the same folder as the RUU, hook up your device and run the utility. It will flash the nk.nbf to the device.

[jwzg]

I'm going to upload my newest version in the next day or so. Everything is pretty much the same with some minor upgrades. Still AKU 4.4 though.

[Master.Chivatoloco]

Thanks, Now I have WM6 on my MDA and I'm Loving every part of it, again Thank you very much. I don't expect to have any problems.

***** is hard to believe that your next version will improve on an already great build *****

[triksgold]

I'm going to upload my newest version in the next day or so. Everything is pretty much the same with some minor upgrades. Still AKU 4.4 though.

When will you upload your new ROM? I can't wait any longer.:D

[jwzg]

Maybe over the weekend. I'm totally swamped and am paying for my indulgence in cooking.

[mess_alex]

Is it possible to use touch scrolling on this ROM?
It's basically the only thing I really miss.
All I need is touch scrolling so it doesn't have to be made by HTC.

The only .cab file I've found (attached) which seems to have the scrolling feature doesn't work (the scrolling - the cube works).

I used to use SNN Edition Version 3.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=383524) (which has it) but jwzg, your ROM is way better (for me - more stable).

[jwzg]

I'm not sure what's up, mess_alex. I do use older drivers, so maybe that might be the issue, but I really don't know.

[mess_alex]

OK, problem solved.

I've been asked to try FTouchSL and it works :)

Great job jwzg!

[lurk skywalker]

i've read this thread, the wiki and the faqs, but one must admit it is quite a task, even for the technically inclined, to flash a ROM for the first time. i've flashed firmware on all kinds of devices, including my previous treo 750. i've had a computer for 23 years now. i am a .net developer.

i got a hold of the Hermes Cookbook. searched for HARD SPL. where do i find that? did i just download the latest version? found it, ran it from the mobile device and i get the screen i think i'm supposed to get. what do i do now? i can't connect the device to a vista or an XP pc - activesync doesnt connect. do i need to have a microSD card to flash with this ROM? i dunno. it doesnt say it anywhere.

i connect the device to the pc anyways and follow the instructions on the cookbook. CorePRO_HermKitchen, where do i find that? did i just download the latest version? started dumprom with parameter nk.nbf (is that what i want to do if i want to put this thread's rom onto my device?). 3rd step, wait, i don't have a RUU_signed.nbh file. how do i proceed? no clue. maybe if i spend 8 hours poking around the forum i will figure it out.

i am very appreciative of the immense effort many of you put towards making these tools and ROMs available. but i feel that there is still a little bit of a wall here keeping the noobs out. there is no glossary. what is an SPL? which tool goes with what ROM type? nb, nbf, nbh.

would someone please tell which tool to use and mini description on installing this specific ROM on my HTC 8525, which is SIM unlocked and Super CID unlocked?

thank you very much

another noob.

[mikaarce]

this is the thread for the dopod 838, cingular 8125, t-mobile vario, aka wizard, your in the wrong thread i suppose, the rom will brick your device:)
this is the forum where you can check your device,
yours is the "hermes", two versions one which is 3G(videocalling) capable and one that is not. at the beginning of the threads there are sticky's, how to's, just ask and people will answer you, hope this helped.

still using this rom with no problems
i would like to upgrade to 6.1, but until theres a perfect working port like this i will not bother :)
maybe when jwzg creates a 6.1 build i will upgrade

maybe when i finish i will post on this forum (since i am building and testing with an MDA :)

Just wanted to say that I have tried several different ROMs and I keep coming back to this one because I have yet to find something that doesn't seem to work right and I have never seen it lock up on me.

Does the cook intend to delight us with something new?

[Master.Chivatoloco]

I'll second Bigbadger opinion, best ROM I tried, fast and reliable:) :eek::eek:

[jwzg]

Thank you for your kind words. I've been very busy and have not had time to update to the latest build. It is labeled the HTC P4300 ROM, which is the HTC designation for the Wizard. The newest ROM has never locked up on me and the only time I've reset it is when I've had to change the battery. Hey, you should thank peter petrelli and gnatgosplat, as they really did most of the porting work.

[BigBadger]

Can anyone report what tweaks they may have safely made and how they did it? I'd hate to change something and upset the stability of the ROM.

I managed to overclock to 240 with no trouble using OMAPClockPlus.

Am I right in saying you are using an updated version of this ROM, that you haven't released yet? (I think you mentioned this back in April and early May).

Any chance you might upload this new ROM for us all to share?

Doesn't have to be polished... just post it as it is. I read all about your changeover to Mac and how you are busy with work until the summer... so we don't want to bug you! If you can post it as it is, we could enjoy it now, with no extra work for you.

Thanks for all your hard work.

This has to be the best ROM I have flashed till date!! I have tried several ROMs across, including those that claim to be the most widely used ROMs, having undergone several revisions, but none even comes close. I think the beauty of this ROM is that it does not have bling and everything works just right. I am one of those who gets irritated by even minor glitches so this works super fine for me.

Just one glitch experienced so far...If i enable the bluetooth on the phone before switicing on my bluetooth device, the bluetooth works fine. But if I switch on the bluetooth device first and then enable bluetooth, then although I can hear an incoming call via the bluetooth but pressing any button on the headpiece does not answer the call. In other words the headset becomes unresponsive.

Any reason why this is happening?

[peter petrelli]

jwzg, Anymore Business Edition Rom's in the making?

Wanna team up and bring the wizard forum something new? :D

[andorpapa]

I've tried many WM6 ROMs on my Wizard, but this is what I've wanted. Fast, stable and gives me more free RAM than others. Nice work!

[naack]

is it possible to move the sms msges to the storage card?

Peter, I've not flashed my device in over a month. I still have to upload this last version, perhaps in the morning. I would like to do a 6.1 ROM based on the Kaiser version with HTC branding. It would be much like this version but black of course. I have been working on getting my cars fixed for the past couple of weeks, so any Wizard project will probably start around the end of June.

[MooCan]

Hi,

Thanks for this really great and fast ROM.
A professional update to WM 6.1 is welcome :) thanks in advance

How to solve this amazing operator name resolution ?
Every latest Rom I have tested on my Wizard is unable to show correct Operator Name and does not sync time with operator. The only one which work well was "Wrcx 5.2.1437"
I always have BYTEL in place of BOUYGTEL.
I have tested a lot of registry settings under RIL, PhoneSetting, HTC\RIL from forum search but none works.

If someone have an answer I'm interested.

Woow: Seems to be a radio issue ... downgrade from 2.69.11 to T-Mobile UK 2.19.11 and time synchro works ... maybe operator name too.

Hi jwzg!

This has to be the first time that I have read through an ENTIRE thread in one go!! i am extremely impressed by all the +ve comments!

this is possibly one of the most admired ROMs out there. BUT the absence of one little utility leaves me wanting just a little bit more......... threaded SMS.

the world is changing.... even email is now threaded.... old skool SMS managers are out... unless u use Nokia's excuse for a device....

so, doc, plz cook something up.... i am sick of TNTs n' Farias etc etc etc bloated ROMS with useless apps, half of which are never used at all!!

your ROM gives us biz users hope... plz... @least think about it with the will to make things change....

many thanks

This ROM was set up for Cingular, so I don't know if you can't change a couple of the reg entries to get it to work with the newer radio ROM's. Mine uses the 2.71 ROM with no issues.

On a separate note, my phone keeps freezing up whenever I change themes. It will eventually start to function if you leave it alone for a few minutes. Has anyone else had this issue?

ROM update on first page. Sorry, the core is not updated, but with this ROM being as stable as it is, there's really no need.

[BigBadger]

Cheers! What is new with the updated (6/27) version?

Minor revisions. Windows Vista Device Center support and related items.

Not much, but certainly the closest to an official ROM yet for the Wizard.

Just wondering why this thread petered out over a week ago and when you had said to every one that you were JUST about to upload a new ROM to the forum?

What are the revisions with the new ROM you posted at the end of June and why has no one posted with reports on it?

Did you solve the VoIP issue on which you seem to have been working for so long? (The way every one else deals with this problem is by saying that they cant test VoIP as they don't use it!) I note that you cant get the sound to port to the speaker: Is this a hardware issue which every one else finds? Is there some significance to the fact (?) that none of the new ROMs contain VoIP? And some of the older ones have VoIP apps which dont execute properly

I am just losing a Hermes and bought a Herald which I need to repair so am using my Wizards again for the moment. It seems odd that the newer ROMs seem to have a lot of the features of the older ones (such as VoIP, which I haven't actually had working for a year or so!!) taken out of them?

Incidentally I am intrigued by your reference to the newest HTC Wizards being P4300s: I have a brand new Wizard provided by HTC and it is still branded T-Mobile! I thought that all these Wizards were pretty much identical with different names on them? ( BTW I DO also have an earlier T-Mobile G4 which was so much of a pain in the neck to flash that I took the screen out to use on another machine)

[jwzg]

HTC actually sells the Wizard directly as a P4300. It is not advertised well, and it probably has the Cingular WM5 ROM installed. I just built the WM6 ROM as it might appear from HTC and the revisions are listed on the front page. Please don't badger the cook, as the ROM is how I like it, and honestly, if anyone wants to improve it, they are welcome to do so. I took out VOIP as I updated some drivers and it ended up not working well. I repeat what is common knowledge on the entire board: VOIP cannot be routed to the phone speaker right now, and I'm not working on it.

Sorry about that: I know only too well from a couple of years use that the VoIP sound cant be ported to the speaker on the Wizard: It was YOU who had commented on this and I thought that you were working on a way of overcoming this.

What I said was that this is a hardware issue. (not sure what you mean by "right now")

However I am sorry to note that whether it can or cant, like everyone else it seems, you have given up on VoIP. It is interesting to note that the update of drivers is probably what is preventing everyone from putting a working VoIP in their ROMs. I wonder if this is anything to do with people reporting VoIP not working on the newer Herald where it is specifically enabled for a T-Mobile proprietary service?

FYI, people seem to report that VoIP works better when overclocking the unit, though I havent heard anyone say that it works well. I did manage to get it to work well about a year or so ago when Schaps tool first came out but wasnt able to test it extensively as I didnt have a headset at the time so I had to speak to people on land lines while testing whether it was working at all or not on the Wizard. As I say, since then everyone seems to have deleted it from their ROMs and those who left it in stopped answering messages saying that invoking it crashed the module!

I didn't know that the company still sells the Wizard and thought that their supply to me of one (a T-Mobile one) was anomalous. It seems however that they have taken over servising the for the companies and therefore keep proprietary units for replacement.

;)I am pulling up this post because I have been using this rom for a few hours now. I have to say this is absolutely one of the most stable roms on this site. Tons of free storage, great ram. Not flashy, really basic, which I love. i want to install my own stuff, thank you. I very strongly recommend this perfect rom to anyone here. Screw flashy and new, I want strong and stable!:D

Yeah, this one is one of the most stable ROMs around including Faria's and Merlin's older WM6.1 ones. Ah, a fellow Alabamian. Not to many of us around this site. Lake Guntersville is one the prettier lakes in this state. Such a nice and peaceful place considered to where I live, ugly old Birmingham...

[witch1]

No way!!!! I was a visitor at ya'lls lovely community based facility for women. I worked 18 months at Costa's in Hoover! We're heading out to the lake in the a.m. for some bass fishing. And here most think RAM is a truck and ROM is a foreign beer! :eek:

[jwzg]

Well, well: I'm from Mobile originally and lived there for 21 years, so it looks like we've got a few on here.

Witch1, as for the Activesync issue, I'm not sure. I've not had an issue with it and yours seems to be one of the first I've heard of along those lines. You may just need to reboot your PC, hard reset the Wizard, and see what happens. This ROM was the result of about 6 mos. of off and on tweaking, but the real thanks goes to PeterPetrelli for the AKU 4.4 port as I was working off the old 15342 build with the original.

[witch1]

I did as you suggested and now its great. BTW, caught a big ass fish today wooo hooo!:D

[mendoza1]

Is there a way to open programs in tabs?

AMP V2 Professional has it, and it is really handy to close programs form there and not to try to press X button for a hundred times.

Thank you

[witch1]

You could use Quick Menu or HTC Homescreen. Its easy to open programs, I prefer a larger ram and storage memory.

I've meant not for opening programs, but for closing and navigating. If you have opened 2 or 3 programs, you can see them that they are open because they are shown like tabs on the taskbar. So you can navigate (switch between them) and you can close them more easily.

[witch1]

My bad. There's an upside down triangle, sorta, on the upper right corner of your screen. Tap that and it'll show all open programs. Tap the X beside running program to close. You can also use PBAR or ypur task manager. Settings>System>Memory>Running Programs also works.

Thank you for your trouble. It seems that tabbed browsing is provided by program called WkTASK (link:http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-wktask-v1-1-7-3b.html). With this add on, this rom will be excellent!

Thanks!

[AsonUnique]

I dont under which of three links i should choose to download from? Im lookin for cleaner and faster version :)

[witch1]

I use the last one.:)

[jwzg]

Though this is an older ROM, I still update it when I need something or get bored. The latest link is on the front page. I do believe it's now fully functional and needs no further updates. I got the Lockstream DRM running which is a bit odd, but had me baffled for the longest. Now you can choose any ringtone and the phone settings will act normal instead of deleting the modules from the OEMAPPS as well as the registry entries. It simply needed a registry entry in the boot.rgu.

Other than that, Vista Device Center will now take you to the HTC P4300 info page. I also added the built-in ringtones from the Hermes not found in the Wizard ROM's. The memory seems to be much less leaky on this ROM as well.

[Al3xxxinho]

Does it work on a g4 device ? It seems pretty nice, and I would like to try it for a while :)

Later edit: I haven't seen the first post ... It's safe for G4 too :P
